A high quality, affordable task chair with minimal parts, Diffrient World was built with longevity in mind and will look as good in ten years as it does today.Дiffrient World is Living Product Certified, meeting the most rigorous sustainable manufacturing criteria to date. With weight-sensitive recline that adjusts automatically and armrests that are attached to the back of the chair so they move with the user for ergonomic comfort, Diffrient World provides custom comfort for every sitter. Niels Diffrient designed Diffrient World to offer ease of use and effortless functionality. Diffrient World offers the ultimate user-friendly sitting experience. The design eliminates the need for traditional mechanisms, instead using the laws of physics and the sitterвЂ™s body weight to offer perfect recline for each individual sitter. With an innovative tri-panel mesh backrest that provides custom back and lumbar support and a lightweight design, Diffrient World is, like all of HumanscaleвЂ™s products, simple, beautiful and functional. Designer Niels Diffrient wanted to create the most minimal, full-function task chair ever made. The result is a task chair that is simple but beautiful, supporting each user instantly and changing the way people sit.Diffrient World is Humanscale's first foray into all-mesh task seating. He also wanted World to be minimal but highly functional, so he worked to eliminate tension mechanisms, knobs and adjustment levers. He collaborated with textile designer Elizabeth Whelan to create a flexible but strong non-stretch mesh, so the backrest would take on the shape of the sitter. 'If every chair was made the way the World Chair was, we would cut in half all the material used for task chairs.'Дrawing inspiration from the three dimensional approach tailors take when creating menвЂ™s suits, Niels Diffrient wanted to build a minimal mesh task chair with a back that automatically fits the user. In recent years, Diffrient had focused his energies on designs for the office environment, particularly seating - a category in which he has pioneered numerous breakthroughs, from pneumatic cylinders for seat height adjustment to weight-activated automatic recline. Included among his many honors are the 2002 National Design Award from the Smithsonian's Cooper-Hewitt, National Design Museum, and the 1999 Chrysler Design Award. With an academic foundation in design and architecture and a degree from Cranbrook Academy, Diffrient channels his knowledge of engineering, architecture, and human factors into the creation of highly functional and aesthetically timeless designs.ДЇrom his early work with the studios of Eero Saarinen, Marco Zanuso, and Henry Dreyfuss to his current work with Humanscale, Diffrient's visionary talent has been widely recognized. His work has spanned generations, consistently looking past trends to reinvent the tools we use for daily living. Niels Diffrient's designs are grounded in the philosophy that form follows function.
